    New Spector Euro 5 CST! What do you guys think?

    A couple of month ago, I contacted Sven and asked, if the new CST were already available. He contacted MusikMeyer and became 3 fresh CST models. Also this one you have purchased. He mailed me some photos of the new entries. I did not like the finish and the wood grain of all three models and I...

    Lakland Basses... Lost their popularity? Where'd they go?

    Since Warwick took over the distribution in Germany, they became way too expensive. Skylines for 1800 Euro is not a good idea. And in addition for being too expensive they are also too heavy. You are lucky if you find one under 4,5 kg

    It changes every day. The Red LX looks really awesome. Best neck profile has the LX on the left. Best sound the blue LT in the middle. Tomorrow the mix might be totally different.

    Once u started with Spectors, you can’t stop no more. Dig the sound, playability, haptic and craftsmanship. Would like to have a custom LT EURO 4 in Bahama Blue with selected woods, a Wimbish rosewood neck, Barts/Darkglass electronic and black hardware

    What’s better than a LT? Two of them. Guess what, they sound the way they look: totally different. The newer one is far louder and more compressed, the older one is warmer in sound and the pickups have more room to shine through.

    Fresh D’Addario, I am using DR Low riders. I was hoping, that there was a hidden volume trimpot just like in the LX tonepump.

    Yes they are. I lowered the pickups already, but no big effect.

    Just purchased a new EURO 4 LT and compared to my other EURO 4 LT from 2020. The volume is significantly louder than the old one. Almost like a fully cranked up LX (with the trim pot). Do you guys have the same experience and what can I do the lower the output, because is crazy loud IMO?

    Rickenbacker "sticky" finish

    I have an 2008 JetGlo and the paintjob is really bad. The laquer is sticky and at some parts the first laquer layer is pulling off. Considering the Rickenbacker price tag of meanwhile <2K, its a shame and the paintless Walnuts the only recomendation for those, who want to purchase a new one...
